Carb Housing/Box...Whatever U call it???

[Mondeo]

Me too

If the box thingy turns out oo exp... i think i'll just route the cone nearer to the front... using 3" flexible duct (can buy from Speedworks at $13/ft). And live with the induction noise!!!

 

Going to Man's tomorrow morning to see if he can help.

[Super7]

i feel like saying hello to Man ........... what time will you be there??

 

cheers

[Diesel]

I would prefer to be his first few customers tomorrow, how abt, say, 10am?

[Super7]

can.......... you mean he starts work so early???

 

see ya there

[Diesel]

I think 10am should be the "earliest" hour for auto workshops to open for biz... though to me it's already half the day gone

 

Hope it'll not be as crowded the last time i went there (on a Sat morn too...10 plus)

 

See ya!!!

I also interested to do something like the blockage kind to prevent hot air into my Cone filter which I change in Malaysia. I find the car is lighter and smoother to drive in rainy days as the reponse is better.

 

I guess it is because of the cooler air into the air filter so anyone can help me on creating the blocking kind of stuff? Do contact me on 98248801, thanks!

U can go to the DIY shop or tools & material shop for the silver color duct..cheaper alot.

[Diesel]

Noted, thanks!

 

Actually, t've tried asking some hardware shops about some 3" conduit, but none have them... The piping from Speedworks is dark in color, fire-retardant, and is quite stiff (good for maintaining the shape of the pipe)... so i might just settle for that. 2 feet should be enuff for me.

Hope can be done, bro

[Diesel]

Hope so too... tomoro drop by Man's see if he can help me with the resonator box to reduce induction noise... that's my priority!!! I'm a bitch for NOISE, can't stand the induction noise in the cabin!!!

Frankly, Sound insulation should be worth to spend, not only for engine noise, but city noise. U can quietly to listen your ICE after installed.

I also hate the noise.

I've soundproofed my car earlier this year using bitumen sheets ... back-breaking 1-man job for 10 hours ... but the results were satisfying Also got the chance to "know" my car inside out

 

The ride became quieter... but now using cone filter, so noise level went up... another alternative i have in mind is to further soundproof the front areaa, near the firewall...

[Mondeo]

near the firewall! another 5hrs 1-man job!

[Diesel]

Yeah man... the thought of it really puts me off

[Mondeo]

So last time the job let U know" yr car inside out, this time let u know outside in

 

Frankly, to me dun know how to do it
